submitted by Rosco63 - 6 years ago
  • A: My hair stylist has noticed some build up but it has not posed issues for me for her to continue dying on it. I try to get as much residue out as I can before seeing her though.

    submitted byHair Problems - 6 months ago
  • A: Hi Rosco63! Thank you for reaching out! Unless you have a lot of product build-up in your hair, you should be okay to visit the salon! For best results, we recommend washing out the product from your hair and waiting at least 24 hours before coloring! We hope this information is helpful!

Q: Can the spray be used to conceal thin areas for someone experiencing hair loss/thinning in some spots? Natural hair color is off black.

submitted by Stylish Lady - 6 years ago
  • A: I was looking at this product to use instead of my Bumble and Bumble (colored) hair powder spray because I need a different color. Otherwise, I love the Bumble and Bumble and use it for my thinning hair. I do not know if this product does what B & B does, but I was hoping it did since B & B works WONDERS for thinning hair. It miraculously makes the hair look thicker and camoflauges the thinning areas completely. I lost a lot of hair the last few months due to medication (horrible shedding) so I understand exactly what you are asking. I am going to try this product because Target is wonderful about letting you return their products if they do not work. If this doesn't work, I will stick with my B & B. Good luck!

    submitted byCathee - 6 years ago
  • A: It might depend on how thin you are, and the color. It can and does shade the scalp.

    submitted byHair Problems - 6 months ago

Q: Does this dry out your hair I need it because I cannot dye my hair because it is too damaged.

submitted by Steph - 8 years ago
  • A: Hi Steph! The Root Cover Up Spray is not like a traditional haircolor and will not dry out the hair. It will wash out in one wash. Since you did mentioned that your hair is very dry and damaged, we recommend using the Total Repair 5 Damage Erasing Balm. It is a hair mask that can help add moisture to the hair and prevent breakage. We hope this helps!

    submitted byL'OrealParisProductExpert - 8 years ago
    Brand expert
  • A: I've been using this for years and I have not experienced drier hair. The texture of your hair feels worse when you have it in though. It feels almost like hair spray and can eventually become matted.

    submitted byHair Problems - 6 months ago

Q: Is the applicator narrow like a mini straw or does it spray a mist like hair spray?

submitted by Brenda - 8 years ago
  • A: I feels more like hair spray.

    submitted byHair Problems - 6 months ago
  • A: Hi Brenda! The Magic Root Cover Up is dispensed from a small pipette that helps pin point the application along the roots. For best results hold the can about 6 inches from the roots and keep the can moving so only a light layer of color is deposited evenly.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Magic Root Cover Up, a great product for concealing your roots temporarily. It is not sticky and does not leave hair stiff. While the color is not an exact match it does the job. The sprayer takes a little practice to get used to but it works nicely and applies the coverage where you need it most. I will repurchase because it’s great to have on hand!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received Magic Root Cover Up free from Influenster in exchange for my honest review. I recently have been struggling with new grey hairs randomly showing up (I’m 46 years old), and this product couldn’t have arrived at a better time. There is no scent that I have noticed which I think is great! The medium brown shade match is perfect. I have about 5N hair color with some highlights. My grey hair is coming in at the roots and has been driving me crazy. It completely covered any grey hairs I had. It was easy to apply, and it looks natural. I did notice some product could rub off, so I would suggest you follow the instructions and allow it to dry for a minute before touching it. I would absolutely recommend Magic Root Cover Up to anyone struggling with grey hair between salon touchups - it is an affordable solution! I am impressed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This shade is the perfect match for my black natural hair as you can see in the photo you cannot tell there was any gray hair before. It all so have a light funny scent that isn’t overly harsh and doesn’t linger after application, so simple to apply I just use my phone camera for as a mirror with perceives spray with how it’s packaging is made. Am truly excited for this product because hair dyes don’t work.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is such a blessing to women that dye their hair. My hair grows out very quickly, and the gray line really bothers me. This is ideal for a quick fix between coloring. Very easy to use and with the color varieties you can definitely get a perfect match. The product will last for several days without transferring to pillowcases or clothing.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] “” I have used Magic Root Cover, and it’s become a staple in my beauty routine. As someone with fast-growing grays, this spray is a total game-changer. It covers roots instantly, dries quickly, and doesn’t leave any sticky residue, as long as we let it DRY for about a MINUTE. The color blends in seamlessly with my natural shade and it lasts until my next shampoo. In my opinion, I Would benefit From a bigger size of Product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The L’Oréal Paris Magic Root Cover Up is a quick and effective solution for temporarily covering gray roots between coloring sessions. I tried the black shade, and I was genuinely impressed with how natural it looked once applied. The spray nozzle allows for targeted application, which helps prevent mess and gives you control over where the color goes. It blends seamlessly with my natural hair color and dries quickly without feeling sticky or stiff. Another bonus is that it doesn’t rub off easily on hands or pillows once it’s dry. This product is ideal for anyone looking for a fast fix before a meeting, event, or just to extend the time between salon visits. The compact size also makes it convenient to carry in a bag or for travel. Pros: • Natural-looking color • Easy and precise application • Dries quickly • Great for in-between colorings Cons: • Temporary (washes out with shampoo) • May require touch-ups throughout the day if you’re in humid conditions Overall, this is a reliable and affordable product for quick gray coverage, and I’d recommend it to anyone who wants a low-commitment solution for fresh-looking roots.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This definitely covers up the grays. The color is pretty spot on. It's an easy spray can similar to hairspray. It doesn't really have a smell, which is nice cause it doesn't clash with my shampoos or my hair products. I will definitely buy this again for those times when I don't have time to touch up my roots, I love this product. It's amazing. Very happy.

The second one I sprayed it on but still look not covered with the color. So I did again and longer spray. Now I can see a little of the color covered my gray hair. I would say it works, but you have to use a lot on hour hair..

This sprays directly on the hair without any over spray or splatter. It lasts until the next shampoo and doesn't feel sticky or tacky and it doesn't rub off on clothes. Definitely carries me until my next hair appointment!
